Abstract

A method (300) for entering a character into an electronic device (100) that includes displaying (301) input character keys (204) displaying a first set of input letter keys (207) in a text entry keyboard touch sensitive region (203) of a display screen (105) of the device (100). Predicting (311) is then performed to predict a group of potential subsequent letters that follow an entered letter, the entered letter being selected by actuation of one of the letter keys (207). Next, the method (300) performs displaying (313) a second set of input letter keys (407) identifying the potential subsequent letters , the second set of input letter keys (407) replacing the first set of letter keys (207) displayed in the text entry keyboard touch sensitive region, the second set of input letter keys (407) substantially filling the text entry keyboard touch sensitive region (203).
